     \class HbToolBar
     \brief HbToolBar is a toolbar decorator.

+    The HbToolBar class represents an HbView toolbar. It provides the
+    interface for adding actions to the toolbar.
+
     Toolbar actions are added using one of the addAction() methods.
-    Calling addAction() adds an HbToolButton to the toolbar and triggers the action when the button
-    is pressed. The image and text specified with the action are applied to the toolbar button.

     Example usage:
     \dontinclude ultimatecodesnippet/ultimatecodesnippet.cpp
     \skip Start of snippet 1
     \until End of snippet 1
 
+    Note: calling hide() or setVisible(bool) on toolbar is not
+    recommended.  Instead, use \a HbView::setItemVisible(), as in 
+    this example:

+    \skip Start of snippet 59
+    \until End of snippet 59
